“The world that I was trying to present was one where I could feel good, where people were friendly, where I could find the love I wanted. My photos were proof that this world could exist.” – Robert Doisneau.

Despite being surrounded by people who constantly go up and down the stairs leading up to the Paris Opera, despite the continuous traffic that suggests the merits, despite the annoying cold, the couple enjoys their union no matter anything surroundings them. Just import the softness and moisture of the kiss. There is only him and her. They exist only.

Although there are other more famous capture of this moment, I preferred to show this one, because in my opinion better represents the magic of love to fade the rest of the world, whose lives seem to be at a different rate from that of the lovers. The photograph is not capturing, for as all those kisses from 1950, as the famous “Kiss at Town Hall,” are only intended poses for Life magazine. The series of pictures made ​​for the occasion called “Kisses” and with them Doisneau went down in history.
